Heritage raspberries are an ever-bearing variety, producing tasty, medium-sized, firm red berries from mid-summer into fall. They are disease-resistant, highly productive and easy-to-grow in zones 4 through 8. The plants will bear fruit the first year. A summer crop begins to ripen in early July. The fall crop is highly productive and ripens from the end of August until frost. Five live bare-root raspberry canes. Hardy in zones 4 through 8. Not sure of your zone? Our Zone Finder can help.

I had tried for several years to get some rasberry plants started unsucessfuly. When these arrived I couldn't believe how big the roots where!! My mom was suprised too; she'd never seen such healthy rooted plants!!! All of them look fantastic, they're almost as tall as the 3rd year one I have. Some took longer to really get going; i have one thats healthy but slow growing. I mainly think its because of where I live; to much red clay and its old cut over pine farm land. I've told everyone to come here for plants, and I plan on putting more in next year!!

I waited anxiously for my plants to arrive. When they finally did I was so exicted to be able to plant them. I followed the directions that were given on line and waited to see them start to leaf out. Well, three weeks went by and nothing, four weeks and nothing, five weeks and nothing. Finally week six brought some results. Out of the ten plants that I purchased six have finally leafed out. I am still hopeful that the remaining four are just slow starters. I am really looking forward to enjoying the fruits of my labor.

I ordered both the raspberries and blackberries. The raspberries took 10 days to arrive and they were all dried out. Hoping I will be able to salvage at least one. On a good note the blackberries arrived quickly and were still moist and have started to sprout.

The Heritage Raspberry plants have been planted according to the instructions received with the plants and are showing good growth. Will have to wait until they mature sufficiently to produce fruit to make a final assessment of the plants. So far everything has been excellent.

Berries and other so-called small fruits generally don't require as much space as full-size fruit trees, and by growing several different types, you can enjoy home-grown fruit from early summer through late fall.

Dreaming of a backyard berry patch? An asparagus bed? Start with a raised bed. A raised bed isolates the perennial crop from invasive weeds and grasses that might creep into the growing area. All have shallow roots that don't compete well with weeds and that can be damaged by aggressive weeding tools.
